Up until 1961, there was only one degree-granting university in New Zealand: the University of New Zealand. It included the following colleges: Auckland, Victoria, Canterbury, and Otago (which kept the title of ‘university’ but granted diplomas under the University of New Zealand). Later, the agricultural colleges of Massey and Lincoln and the theological college of St Johns were included. However, occasionally in these records foreign universities are listed.
